Knauff multifinish - anyone used it?

[happyplasterer]

Can pick some of this up today but heard it's a nightmare to use, anyone tried it?
Don't want to get a load and find it's useless, especially at £20 a bag!

Cheers Ray, yeah that's what I'd heard too. Gave the customer the option and thankfully they said no as not in a hurry.
More painting woodwork in my house this week then, got a couple of render jobs after that then hopefully normal plaster will be less like rocking horse s**t!

And great time to bring out the ad when I can't get hold of plaster for love, money or sexual favours

Will you be rebranded as the “frustrated” plasterer soon then.

In more ways than one!

What is the general opinion on Knauff? I can get hold of 40 bags of that or a polish brand Cekol...has anyone used it?

in the Netherlands we only use Knauf/Gips, gold or black band as a base coat like bonding.
you can use it as a finish coat with the same application as Thistle universal plaster.
